Now if you analyse it you will see that it has only 17 pages indexed, it's content is crap, and the majority of it's backlinks (shown by Google) is from totally irrelevant PR4 URL mimi in NY, so we can say it's strongest backlinks are also crap.
So looking at this example made me think of those guidelines as crap too. People are abusing them a lot and getting a lot of money, it is just a matter of knowing how to do it and where is a limit. |
I was interested in what you wrote and did a quick link look at the site you mentioned. Here is what I found. . .
miminenewyork.blogspot.com is not the strongest backlink on that site. . .. not even close. . best links on that site are:
89.com (and anyone else getting links from search engines who use dmoz powered directories)
pumpkin-porn
toss-my-salad
masturbationalist
cuntcircus
sex-bracelets
sex-vetrag
sexreporter
masturbationhorror. . . .
I can go on. Miminenewyork is a run of site link used to land the anchor text 'anal sex'. Maybe its about the 50th best link on that site. 100 links from a site doesn't make that link more important than 1 link from something that matters.
Now those links alone don't complete the entire link profile. . .there are a ton of other authority links that give validity to that site.
Furthermore this site doesn't suck. Its an aggregate with links going out to all types of anal sex and ways to have anal sex, etc.(not to mention a bit of porn) Sometimes adult webmasters forget that terms like 'anal sex' aren't always searched for porno. Its a component but not the sole reason for that search term.
Don't forget the site is also 8 years old. . . that says a lot, and I'm calling something out right here. Google is moving back to authority, older sites a bit stronger right now. . .don't know if its here to stay.. . but I see authority 'older' established sites popping back up in the search engines. Mark these words 'Trust Rank'. Your site doesn't necessarily need to be old. . but it does need 'trust' to rank and stay ranked in competitive search words.
But all this is just my two cents. . . SEO is a sketchy business at best . . so take my comments for what its worth.
